METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING POWER MANAGEMENT BY CONTROLLING OPERATIONS OF AN UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY IN A DATA CENTER

A system having multiple racks with a power supply unit (PSU) in each rack, and multiple grids including an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in each grid to supply power to each PSU. A console determines an amount of wear levelling and an amount of workload to be supported by each UPS. The console configures each UPS based upon the determined amount of wear levelling and the determined amount of workload to be supported by the UPS. Furthermore, the console facilitates an adjustment of a power capping value in each PSU to conform with the configuration of each UPS.
